Individuals in rural communities often face barriers to health stemming from economic factors, environmental differences, and feelings of isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a generational challenge and exacerbated these concerns, revealing a critical need for rapid response efforts. With the support of a generous grant of $200,000 from CoBank, the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) is helping rural health care providers overcome barriers they face through the creation of the Rural COVID-19 Technical Assistance Center.
